1 IMPLEMENTING CISCO MPLS V2.3 (MPLS) COURSE OVERVIEW: The course will enable learners to gather information from the technology basics to advanced VPN configuration. The focus of the course is on VPN technology issues of MPLS from the Service Providers perspective and how to configure some of those features and functions in an existing routed environment. A basic introductory level of some of the more updated features and functions such as Traffic Engineering, Fast Reroute and Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) are introduced on a concept level only and the MPLS Traffic Engineering and other Features course should be taken for in depth learning of those topics. WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS COURSE? The target audience for Implementing Cisco MPLS consists of network administrators and technicians Cisco CCNP, CCDP, CCIE, and CCIP routing and switching candidates who are responsible for implementing and troubleshooting basic IP multicast-enabled networks within a single domain. The secondary audience for this course is as follows: The course is targeted toward pre-sales and post-sales technical engineers who are responsible for designing, implementing, and troubleshooting MPLS networks or solutions that are based on MPLS technology. PREREQUISITES: To fully benefit from this course, students should have the following prerequisite skills and knowledge: Cisco CCNA certification or the equivalent level of working knowledge and experience Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers COURSE OBJECTIVES: After completion of this course, students will be able to... Describe the features of MPLS Describe how MPLS labels are assigned and distributed Configure and troubleshoot frame-mode MPLS on Cisco IOS platforms Describe the MPLS peer-to-peer architecture and explain the routing and packet-forwarding model in this architecture Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot VPN operations Describe how the MPLS VPN model can be used to implement managed services and Internet access Describe the various Internet access implementations that are available and the benefits and drawbacks of each model Describe the tasks and commands that are necessary to implement MPLS TE COURSE OUTLINE: Module 1: MPLS Features Lesson 1: Describing Basic MPLS Concepts MPLS Overview MPLS Terminology Lesson 2: Describing MPLS Labels and Label Stack MPLS Labels MPLS Label Imposition MPLS Architecture Components MPLS Label Stack
